SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
avidcritic23 I'm very soft when it comes to critiquing movies, but this film is so far placed number one in the list of worst movies I've have ever seen in my life.I will say that the story is fine, but what bothered me the most was that TOO MANY characters die in this movie. Some of the characters died for no reason. This whole movie to me was a murder fest. I did watch through this whole movie and I won't watch it ever again.
Judexdot1 "Righting Wrongs" is a great showcase for all involved, with solid martial arts action throughout. Yuen Biao shines, and I've never seen Cynthia Rothrock, and Richard Norton do better. But, I have to point out that there are 2 quite different versions available. The original HK version is available subtitled as "Righting Wrongs". but, there is an English-dubbed UK version, known as "Above The Law". This is not just the usual re-dubbing. Most of the film remains extremely similar, but the conclusion has been extensively restructured, and ends quite differently from the original! either film is just amazing, an early showcase for Corey Yuen's skill, exploited so well by Hollywood, now.
Hendu I loved this movie! Yuen Biao, who attended Chinese Opera school with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, totally rules this movie! He has incredible martial arts skills and uses them to the max in this action-packed movie. Yeah, sure the plot and acting leave a bit to be desired, but for us martial arts fans we've come to accept the sub-standard acting in lieu of the awesome action sequences. Cynthia Rothrock adds an extra dimension to the film with her excellent fighting abilities. She is certainly able to keep up with Yuen's antics and from what I've heard, she really enjoyed making this film, (one of her earliest). I definitely encourage people to see this one for the action alone. Rating 8.5/10
Cervaise This movie kicks serious butt. Like the majority of Hong Kong flicks, the script is rushed and uneven, the acting is secondary, and the "plot" is occasionally laughable as it lurches awkwardly from set-piece to set-piece. But none of this matters -- Yuen Biao is completely insane, and brings a vitality to his action scenes that a "big star" like Jet Li can't hope to match. The chase and demolition derby in the parking garage is alone worth the price of admission. Cynthia Rothrock holds her own, for the most part, showing energy and interest that will fade rapidly in the coming years as she "graduates" to low-budget American fare. (But check out the obvious stuntman on the railing leap!) Great goofball fun. If it's playing at a Chinese festival, see it in the theatre with a crowd of like-minded fans.
